Englewood’s center stands about 1,970 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,930 ft to 2,050 ft, a difference of 120 ft: gently rolling country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Beckys Knob, about 2,190 ft, 13 miles north-northeast.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Alluvium (sand, silt, clay), from the Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old.
The section below crosses 7 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 37×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Sand. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 7 mi of the line.
Sand, silt, clay. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Sandstone. Age: Permian, 252 to 299 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Arkose. Age: Miocene, 5.3 to 23 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Coarse-detrital, fine-detrital. Age: Pleistocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Fine-detrital. Age: Holocene, less than 12,000 years old. About 2 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale. 1 smaller unit along the line are not listed.

A raindrop that lands in Englewood reaches the Gulf of America by way of Bullard Creek, Big Sandy Creek, the Cimarron, the Arkansas and the Mississippi: about 1,440 river miles.
Lakes on the way: Murray Lake and Ozark Lake.
600 miles of the trip are on the Mississippi.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Englewood; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Englewood has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 95° in July; winter nights fall to about 18° in January. A normal year brings about 12 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 23 inches of water.
On November 14 Englewood normally reaches 60° and falls to 30°. The record high is 83°, in 1999; the record low 4°, in 1916. The most rain on this date, 0.80 in, fell in 1947.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1900 at Ashland, 16 miles northeast. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
